I'd like to reorganize these, so they all have consistent names. Let's make them all start the same way, like "Personal remark". Then we can add options like "hidden", "removed", "ellipsis", "strike out".

I'm not sure if it's valuable to tag them with categories. I'll leave that up to others.

One nice thing about starting the template names the same way, is that you can change how the personal remark appears by changing the last word of the template name. Instead of strikeout, maybe you want tiny font or just an ellipsis.

personal remark removed - a notice is shown, maybe in small font size

personal remark hidden - nothing shows at all

personal remark strikeout - a line through the remark, like this

personal remark ellipsis - just three dots ...

What do you think of this naming scheme, Philip? --Ed PoorTalk 09:39, 25 February 2008 (EST)

How about the following:

{{Personal remark|removed|remark}}

{{Personal remark|hidden|remark}}

{{Personal remark|struck out|remark}}

{{Personal remark|ellipsis|remark}}

That is, just one template to cover all four cases.

That's as far as naming goes. What I don't understand is what cases each different one is used for.
